Meaning of "tdb_free: left read failed at ...?"

[Ralf G. R. Bergs]

Hi there,

since I upgraded our fileserver running Debian 3.0/i386 with Samba 2.2.7a (a 
package I created myself) I'm seeing the following messages in syslog:

Jan 28 14:55:50 Fileserver nmbd[22451]: [2003/01/28 14:55:50, 0] 
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(531) 
Jan 28 14:55:50 Fileserver nmbd[22451]:   tdb(/var/run/samba/unexpected.tdb): 
tdb_oob len -2320 beyond eof at 16384 
Jan 28 14:55:50 Fileserver nmbd[22451]: [2003/01/28 14:55:50, 0] 
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(531) 
Jan 28 14:55:50 Fileserver nmbd[22451]:   tdb(/var/run/samba/unexpected.tdb): 
tdb_free: left read failed at 4294964952 (4096) 

I've already searched Google, but to no avail.

Is this something to worry about? Can I stop these messages (or rather the cause 
of those messages)? Or should I just filter them away?

Thanks,

Ralf
